The problem is in the pccard code, which only supports the cardbus bridge in pccard emulation mode. This works on laptops because the laptop BIOS initializes some neccesary things to make it work, but it fails on desktop machines. Your only solution right now is to use a ISA PCMCIA adapter instead of the PCI one. That works just fine (I have nearly 100 installations like that).
